Bernadette's Journey
A friend had worked there and recommended it
I didn’t see myself in the corporate world but decided to explore it.
I liked how PAs handled so many tasks to make executives more productive
I love to help people and learn new skills, so it was a great fit.
My first member was someone whose stellar PA had quit
I was nervous because the previous PA set a high standard and I was brand new.
Everyone was so helpful and said, “you got this.”
It’s like you have a team of lawyers defending you!
I tend to be shy
My trainer told me to speak up and be courageous.
I love that mistakes are treated as learning experiences
My managers don’t nit-pick, they ask “how can we help you.”
When I became a Team Captain, I wanted to do the same for others
I love working at a company that helps us achieve our goals.
Being a Team Captain is like being a teacher for adults
You are managing a small class of PAs and helping them learn.
It is also like being a writer
I see myself as guiding people to craft their stories, not telling them what to do or where to go.
I have great friends here
Shoutout to Jessica, Jerwin, Gabriel, Lyka, and Emerald! You are the best.
